The Four F's of Golf: Fun, Friendship, Fitness, and Fresh Air

Playing golf burns calories. If you weigh 150 pounds, carry your bag, and play 18-holes, you’ll burn 1800 calories. That’s equivalent to running almost 7 miles. And while you’re at it – why not invite a friend out to play? You’ll have a great time connecting with that friend... and during that four hours you can invite them to join the EWGA! And by the way – whether you are playing golf for fun or professional reasons, think about this: Here’s why playing golf is such as effective rapport and relationship builder. The golf swing takes on average about 1.4 seconds. If your score is 100, you’ve swung the club for 140 seconds, =20 or slightly more than two minutes. If you are playing with three others, then only about ten minutes are spent actually hitting the ball. What are you doing the rest of the 4-hour round? Besides having fun and experiencing the many benefits of playing, you are bonding and learning about one another’s backgrounds, families and career histories. How perfect!
